Purspose: To investigate the role of P2X7 receptor in osteogenic differentiation of human periodontal ligament stem cells.
Methods: Human periodontal ligament stem cells obtained from primary culture were divided into 4 groups: control group, adenosine triphosphate group, osteogenic induction group, adenosine triphosphate + osteogenic induction group. The differences of RUNX2, OCN gene expression and P2X7 receptor mRNA expression between the four groups were compared. Statistical analysis was performed with SPSS 16.0 software package.
Results: One week after osteogenic formation and two weeks after osteogenic formation, the expression of RUNX2 and OCN mRNA in the adenosine triphosphate + osteogenic induction group was significantly higher than that in the osteogenic induction group (P<0.05). The expression of RUNX2 and OCN mRNA in the 1 week after adenosine triphosphate + osteogenic induction fluid was significantly higher than that 2 weeks after osteogenic formation, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). The expression of P2X7 receptor mRNA in the adenosine triphosphate group and the adenosine triphosphate + osteogenic induction group was significantly higher than that in the control group and the osteogenic induction group 1 week after osteogenesis and 2 weeks after osteogenesis (P<0.05). The expression of P2X7 receptor mRNA in the adenosine triphosphate group was significantly higher than that in the adenosine triphosphate + osteogenic induction group 2 weeks after osteogenesis(P<0.05). The expression of P2X7 receptor mRNA was significantly higher than that of osteogenic induction 1 week after adenosine triphosphate composition(P<0.05).
Conclusions: P2X7 receptor can significantly improve the osteogenesis of periodontal ligament stem cells, and adenosine triphosphate can activate the expression of P2X7 receptor.

Background/purpose: Bone reconstruction in the maxillofacial region typically relies on autologous bone grafting, which presents challenges, including donor site complications and graft limitations. Recent advances in tissue engineering have identified highly pure and proliferative dedifferentiated fat cells (DFATs) as promising alternatives. Herein, we explored the capacity for osteoblast differentiation and the osteoinductive characteristics of extracellular vesicles derived from DFATs (DFAT-EVs).

Background/purpose: Revascularization procedures are used over apexification to treat teeth with necrotic pulp tissues and incomplete root formation. Clinically, inducing proliferation, migration, matrix deposition, and differentiation of stem cells from apical papilla (SCAPs) are critical for pulp regeneration. The study aimed to elucidate the impact of bone morphogenetic protein-4 (BMP-4) on plasminogen activation molecules and the osteogenic/odontogenic differentiation of SCAPs, as well as understand the related signaling mechanisms.

Inspired by the initial mineralization process with bone matrix vesicles (MVs), this study innovatively developed a delivery system to mediate mineralization during bone regeneration. The system comprises nanofibrous chitosan microspheres (NCM) and poly (allylamine hydrochloride)-stabilized amorphous calcium phosphate (PAH-ACP), which is thereafter referred to as NCMP. NCM is synthesized through the thermal induction of chitosan molecular chains, serving as the carrier, while PAH-ACP functions as the mineralization precursor.

Introduction: Periodontal diseases are prevalent among middle-aged and elderly individuals. There's still no satisfactory solution for tooth loss caused by periodontal diseases. Human periodontal ligament stem cells (hPDLSCs) is a distinctive subgroup of mesenchymal stem cells, which play a crucial role in periodontal supportive tissues, but their application value hasn't been fully explored yet.

Mesoporous bioactive glass (MBG) is an advanced biomaterial widely recognized for its application in bone regenerative engineering. This study synthesized an MBG powder (80 mol% SiO, 5 mol% PO, and 15 mol% CaO) using a facile sol-gel method with the non-ionic surfactant Pluronic P123, which acted as a pore-forming agent. MBGs form bioactive surfaces that facilitate HA formation, and the presence of Pluronic P123 increases the surface area and promotes HA nucleation.
